“Jennifer was absolutely WONDERFUL and we could not recommend her more to you, your family, and your newborn! 

From the first time we zoomed with her she showed compassion, knowledge, and a down-to-earth, relatable composure that made us feel immediately at-ease with her.  She kept in touch with us before our baby arrived to check in, which was unncessary but so very appreciated, and genuinely was excited for us when baby did arrive!  

As a doula, she did everything requested of her and then some, making those first few nights home with baby so much more tolerable for us and allowing us some much-needed sleep and assistance!

After each night she sent us a log of every feeding, sleep session, poop/pee, and how baby did throughout the night - this was integral to our feeling comfortable with someone watching our brand-new baby!

She suggested new approaches to us, shared her vast knowledge of evidence-based practices (without being pushy), and just genuinely made us feel so much better about being first-time parents that first week.

We could not recommend her more highly and you will be so thankful that you hire her!”

“Jen led my husband and I though a six week birth education class. As a first time mom, I was very anxious about labor & delivery. Specifically, feeling comfortable advocating for myself and my baby, feeling vulnerable, and finding a balance between a joyous, natural experience and potential medical interventions if required. Jen was above and beyond my expectations and guided me into an emotional place where I felt confident, eager, and powerful rather than scared about what was to come. The practical knowledge she provided in combination with the encouragement to prioritize myself and find mindfulness through my pregnancy brought me incredible clarity and calm. I keep saying I am one of those people who loved being pregnant and I think a big piece of that was working with Jen. While the actual labor and delivery did not go according to my "birth plan", when I was confronted by my team with the need for medical interventions I was able to fully surrender and feel my baby and I were safe. The first thing I did after hearing we needed to shift plans was reach out to Jen and she set me up for a healthy experience. She was a true guardian angel to us both, her advice fully impacted a safe outcome for the situation. Consulting Jen about what to do in that moment will forever be something I am fully grateful for. My baby was in my arms in no time and while I did have to spend a little time processing the unexpected nature of her delivery, I did so with grace and patience for us.  I am incredibly proud of the work I put in to feel like a confident mom before my baby was born and felt it carry into the first days of motherhood and even still as I breastfeed her and soak in every loving moment. While being prepared for the ins and outs of labor and delivery was helpful, the emotional security that came from working with Jen was invaluable and I will cherish the experience forever. ”

“Working with Jen as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we've ever made.  With a three year old and newborn baby, and not much support from outside of our household, Jen made a world of difference in my mental and physical health during the postpartum period.  She provided support with the new baby, spent time with our older child when needed, and helped to make sure the house stayed tidy, meals were prepared and my water cup was full!  I would highly recommend her and wish that every new mom could have the support of someone like Jen. ”

"Jen is so knowledgeable and supportive. We had a variety of experiences and preferences in the class, including myself a 1st time pregnant person who preferred medicated birth, to another Mother who was pregnant with her second child and really hoping for a natural, unmedicated birth. Jen was able to incorporate both preferences into each class, practicing birthing positions with respect to my limited mobility and also accommodating the fuller range of positions for an unmedicated birth. She was organized, prepared and had so much experience that put my mind at east about this beautiful, natural process of birth"
